You're mistaking "president I like" with "good president". Pretty much everything he's done while in office is to the detriment of the country. Very few presidents have been bad enough to accomplish that, and nobody in modern history has done more to divide the country (along racial lines, political lines, economic lines) than he has. Quite a feat.
Haha, I'm explicitly not doing that. I find him to be a good president, and I imagine that objective measures will find him that way as well. Only time will tell though.
I hope you realize that your thought that 'pretty much everything he's done is to the detriment of the country' is heavily influenced by your extreme partisanship, right? I think he's done good things and bad things, but more good than bad. You say... all bad.
Do you think that's actually very likely, or is the more likely answer that you're unable to evaluate him objectively because you're too invested in hating the opposing political sports team?
Oh yeah, those few months as a senator going on fundraising trips surely got a whole bunch of experience. Can you list some of his accomplishments from then?
You mean 3 years as a US Senator and seven years in the state senate. By my count that's about 120 months (EDIT: I can't count!). Is that what you call 'a few'? Like when you say I'm going down to the shore for 'a few' days, do you mean 4 months? If not, your portrayal of his legislative career is highly dishonest. If so, you have a really weird concept of time.
Also, what do you mean about accomplishments? Legislation he voted for, authored, what? (I'll be interested to know, considering you appear to dislike Congress passing too many laws, etc.)
A litigator... whoohoo... just what we need more of, lawyers. Amazing how someone with such a lousy grasp of constitutional law (his idea of constitutional law is basically "whatever I want to do is constitutional") could have become a professor. I guess that just shows even some of the best schools screw up sometimes.
Or it shows that he was successful in two highly competitive fields that you neglected to mention so that you could rant about how he was just a community organizer.
If that was basically my best qualification, then what's the problem?
It might be yours, but it's not his by any reasonably objective evaluation. All this does is make you look like a rabid ideologue.
